Popcorn Hour A-500 discrete off/on codes

I am looking for the discrete off and/or on codes for a Popcorn Hour A-500 media player. My guess is that all the models use the same codes because the upgrade that I found here for the A-100 works with the A-500.

Hey Jim,
It doesn't look like anybody has ever found discrete power codes, so in all likelihood they don't exist. However, as you have a working setup code, that uses the NEC1 protocol, you could try all OBCs in the 0-255 range yourself to see if you can find anything.

The way to do it is to create some dummy upgrades with all the OBCs, skipping the ones that you already know about, then try all the buttons to see if any of them do anything. If you find something, go back to the dummy upgrade to see which OBC it was.

Keep in mind that you'll need to make a second pass with the machine off to search for a discrete on code.
